Harry Kane shows his class

With just 29 touches of the ball over 85 minutes on Tuesday night, it meant that over the course of the two legs, Harry Kane had just 59 touches in total, but even so, he was still the most lethal attacker in either of the two encounters.

Following on from his brace in the first leg from just 30 touches, on Tuesday, he scored Bayern’s opening goal and assisted the second. With these two performances, Kane has proven that he can score when it matters most. After having suffered some nagging injuries since the start of the year, the England Captain now appears to be fully fit and in a rich vein of form. The Bavarian faithful will hope that his current form remains with him at least until the end of the current season. Should that happen, then it’s quite possible that both the Bundesliga and Champions League titles would be spending the upcoming summer in Munich.
